It’s all new, it’s all fresh! Here is PanoMan 3.0 with new features and exciting improvements!

PanoMan 3.0 comes in landscape mode with a preview area on the screen displaying the panoramic image captured so far as well as a small info area showing the frame resolution and the number of frames captured/available.

Due to the improvements made in heap consumption, you can capture up to 12 frames within one session, creating eye-popping up to 360° images with up to 32 Megapixel (on e.g. N95 8GB; maximum resolution on other devices might be actually lower).

You can choose from a variety of new settings:
- Exposure correction: PanoMan can automatically correct possible exposure differences between frames and so create smoother panoramas.

- White balance: you can adjust the colour tone of your panorama depending on current light conditions. This assures that white regions remain white in your final panorama.

- Sound: play a sound with every frame captured.

- Storage: store images on the phone or memory card.

- Auto Focus (only for auto focus devices): If enabled, the camera is auto-focused at each key frame which results in sharper panoramic images. Recommended for devices like the N95, N95-8GB or N82.

How does PanoMan do it?
To make it short, when you see this screen, PanoMan™ is doing all the magic:

1) Perspective Correction
PanoMan™ adjusts the perspective of the captured frames in order to fit them together.

Without correcting the perspective, the image intersection looks like this:

After applying the correction, the intersection is very smooth and barely to make out:

2) Color Correction
The captured images may heavily vary in their brightness, especially when pointing the camera against the sun.
This is where PanoMan™ jumps in to create one level of brightness throughout the whole panorama.
